U-Kiss Leader Soohyun Quietly Begins Military Service: Details

Many idols choose to begin their mandatory military service with a bang – usually allowing hundreds of fans to wave them off as they begin their service.

But U-KISS leader Soohyun has opted for the opposite. The idol’s agency announced today, December 28, that he has started his duties with the South Korean military.

“Soohyun said he wanted to enlist quietly, so he enlisted with just the other U-KISS members and label family by his side,” NH Media wrote in a statement.

Added Soohyun, who has entered the 15th Division as an active duty soldier, “I’ll be fulfilling my duties as a Korean citizen. I am sorry that this news is so sudden to fans, but I believe you will all understand. I will come back healthily, so please keep showing love to U-KISS when I’m not here. Thank you always.”
